Ed is a great presenter. He gets the audience involved and interacts well. Probing, informative, on top of his game and sure to please.These are the reasons we have had Ed back for a second presentation. Our members commented, ” he was only on for an hour, not enough time, get him back!”

Ed made the closing keynote at the Mid-Atlantic Society of Association Executives’ conference. As an association executive, I found his presentation to be both entertaining and extremely relevant!

Ed is a champ. He’s a passionate keynoter that delivers immediately usable content in an exhilarating and entertaining manner. He’s completely relevant to the challenges we deal with today in business. My groups had a wide age range and Ed was able to connect with each of them. He over -delivers on promises and he’s inspiring to interact with. I received so much value from Ed, I used him multiple times.
I highly recommend Ed Rigsbee.

Mr. Rigsbee is very knowledgable about the strategic business alliance literature and its practice. I am currently writing my doctoral dissertation about alliances and his generous support motivates me during this process. His professional wisdom, guidance, and creative nature make me realize that I am doing the right job for my career. He is a great mentor. I am very privileged of meeting him. It has been a great experience to talk with him about the the world of business alliances. His years of expertise is outstanding and most importantly he is excellent in describing complex literature in a very simple and basic frame. I know that only great teachers can do this. Thank you Mr. Rigsbee.

Ed Rigsbee knows more about building collaborative relationships than anyone I know. In business, those who learn that relationships matter are the ones who succeed and Ed drives this message with clarity and eloquence. I have witnessed Ed’s energy and enthusiasm first hand – he’s the real deal.

Ed’s natural, funny, and genuine speaking style grabs you as soon as he begins, and doesn’t let go until well after he has finished. Great, pithy content that resonates – heads were nodding all over the room!

I love working with Ed. He is enthusiastic and energetic … he is knowledgeable and trustworthy … and he will deliver! One of the most consistent speakers I’ve worked with, as well as an “easy” professional to coordinate with. You won’t be disappointed.

It was an absolute privilege to meet and listen to Ed speaking on the power of Strategic Alliances, the techniques to locate our customers, and the methods we can employ to deliver the value they are looking for. Ed truly understands that in the complex and ever escalating velocity of changes in the global economy success is not going to be a solo activity – but rather the alliances we build will ensure our longevity. When good is not good enough and excellence is the new parity – talk to Ed because he takes it up a notch and delivers brilliance.

This presentation showed his knowledge about building collaborative relationships and opened the eyes of our members to strategic alliance in a whole new way. It was beneficial that Ed came into the meeting fully prepared on our membership because his comments were relevant and therefore more meaningful; which added greatly to the take home value.

Ed was a wonderful keynote speaker who was an intrigal part of our summit. Easy to work with, knowledgeable and passionate. Interacted with attendees. Would hire again given the chance.

Ed Rigsbee is one of the best speakers we have ever enjoyed at our annual conference. He has a very special talent that engages participants and gets everyone to actively be part of his presentation. The result is a win-win experience that leaves everyone wanting more.

Our Association has worked with Ed on several projects, and he took the time to get to know our members and their needs. His innovative programs and member valuation and recruitment and retention efforts have made a difference in our strategic planning and marketing. We have also close followed his message related to strategic alliances and have made inroads in creating synergy in our industry through efforts related to this. I highly recommend Ed Rigsbee as a professional speaker or business consultant.

Ed Rigsbee is a dynamic, funny and engaging speaker and motivator. Ed can bring a room to tears one mnute and have them laughing the next. The most important thing is he creates positive change! I have always admired Ed and his successful grasp of the speaking business.
